Abstract:

Heat-pipe-diodes are used to charge a thermally-stratified heat reservoir to permit enhanced preheating of feed water. Maximum available energy is automatically extracted from waste and feed streams having intermittent flow and variable temperature. The thermal reservoir comprises a plurality of thermosyphons operatively disposed in a condenser unit through which the feed water passes, and a plurality of fluidically connected heat-receiving diodes operatively disposed in an evaporator unit through which the waste stream flows.
